Desire for Peace and Justice is Desire for the
Whole Truth & Nothing But The TRUTH1) To Peacefully express our solidarity with the National Peace March in Washington DC on January 27
2) Show our Support and Compassion for all who lost lives and are affected on all sides by the War in Iraq
3) Non-cooperate with forces that mislead and misguide us and falsely promote “war” as the only way to make us/our freedom secure!
4) Above all to affirm, pledge and practice the innate “Power of Peace” within us to endure, sustain, co-create and celebrate
our diversity and embrace multiple non-harming ways of pursuing life, liberty and happiness for all in the world.

Get inspired by two young soldiers and brave hearts resisting war and speaking Truth to Power here…..

who's Selling the War: Bill Moyers
"I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force--the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was part of a racket all the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all members of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left the service."
Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC (1881-1940)

Keep an eye for News on Tommorow's March at DC, not likely to be reported in main media. Search Youtube for Live Video of rally.
Thumbs up and Hi five for Peace!!!"Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount."

Reflections: from Sacred Path of a warrior - Chogyam Trungpa
TO EXPERIENCE FEARLESSNESS, IT IS NECESSARY TO EXPERIENCE FEAR
The essence of cowardice is to not acknowledge the reality of fear. Fear takes many forms. We are afraid of death, we are afraid that we can't handle the demands of our life, and there is abrupt fear, or panic, when new situations occur. Fear is expressed as restlessness: how we move, how we talk, how we chew our nails, how we sometimes put our hands in our pockets uselessly. We have to realize our fear and reconcile ourselves with fear. However, acknowledging fear is not a cause for depression. Because we possess such fear, we can potentially experience fearlessness.
GO BEYOND FEAR When you examine your fear, if you look beneath the veneer of your nervousness, you find sadness. Nervousness is cranking up, vibrating all the time. When you slow down, when you relax with your fear, the sadness is calm and gentle. In the Shambhala tradition, discovering fearlessness comes from working with the softness of the human heart.
Listen To Martin Sheen Recite "Mind Without Fear"
"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us." - Thich Nhat Hanh, Socially Engaged Buddhist Monk.
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal. - Dhammapada<><><>

Thank you for posting Susmita and the reminder.

Here are some early news on January 27 March…yet to hear personal accounts from people who went to DC. I could not find any picture yet or live reports from Independant media sources. Please post if you find any.
Most reports are copy of bulk distributed news issued from Assosiated Press and Reuters. The number of people present and actual stories are often under and unreported. If you attended the DC rally please post images at Youtube. Here in my town 70+ people gathered downtown Jan 27 11-12:00 representing many different oranizations, faiths and occupations and it was fairly reported in the local paper (as i saw the online version). Do not subscribe.
HI: Thanks for this. Check out articles on …

I am going to ask Kay Lucas to send an update of her experiences at yesterday's march when she gets back to Crawford. BTW, Jeff Rense also published her letter, so it probably got several hundred thousand views there, if not more. Blessings…H.
Here's some Live Video Interview from PoliticsTV.com. Here's another one posted on Youtube.
Here's the letter you can send to gather support for Bill HR 508 to bring troops home
